This would indeed be nice, but I think it would be about as meaningful
as a public opinion survey.  MBS has some 75+ consultants spread across
the country.  To date, a total of 5 have voted.  What is interesting is
that none of us have voted the same way.  In fact, in one particular
instance, Rich Trapp and I both voted - but not one single item was
selected by both of us.  I think the reason has more to do with our job
functions and perspectives than the database sizes or uses.  Rich is in
a role where he backs up a staff of support people when they get in a
bind.  I am in a development role.  Consequently, two different
perspectives and two different needs for IMAGE functionality.

So, if we start divulging how gigantic database supporters voted verses
small database owners, where would we draw the line?  Management vs.
Techies?  Users vs. IT?  It would become an unbearable nightmare - and
no one would ever be able to get a real handle on any meaningful data
out of it.
